Cruising Web Sites?
Most serious cruisers have migrated off of newsgroups and onto
moderated web based forums. That is regrettable in my opinion but you can't fight city hall. That said, let's start a thread here listing some of the better cruising web sites. I'll start with some that I've found: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cruisers_Network_Online/ http://www.cruisersforum.com/ http://cruisersnet.net/ http://www.trawlercrawler.net/ http://ssca.org/cgi-bin/pagegen.pl?pg=home&title=Home (membership required) http://www.noonsite.com/ http://www.mtoa.net/ https://activecaptain.com/ (Interactive Cruising Guide Book - good online charts and local knowledge) A word to the wise: None of these groups tolerate asshats, personal insults or political discussion. Don't even think about it. |

He does, it is about 6 inches long in the tub that holds his rubber ducky. -- All successful people have one thing in common, if even for a moment they think rationally. |

Don't even think about it. I use cruisersforum, ssca (member) and activecaptain. I've used noonsite from time to time to access a particular blog from a long term cruiser I've corresponded with for many years. Speaking of which, I finally met up with Roger yesterday in Elizabeth City after crossing paths in Reedsville and then Deltaville and finally on the Dismal Swamp. We've crossed the Albemarle this morning and are sitting quietly in the Alligator River Marina waiting to see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully, we can get through the bridge and up into the river proper. Where are you currently? |

Hopefully, we can get through the bridge and up into the river proper. Where are you currently? === We've been back home in SWFL for about a month. No cruising planned for a while but hopefully we'll get over to the Exumas late winter/early spring. How was the Dismal Swamp? I've always wanted to try that. What kind of minimum depths were you seeing? Are you talking about Roger from Maine? Let me know if you or Roger are going to be near SWFL and we'll figure out how to meet up somewhere. Is he the same Roger running the Q & A site? There's a good anchorage at the south end of the Alligator River just before the canal, and another good anchorage at the western end. Check on activecaptain.com for details. Keep moving south ASAP. It starts getting cold in the Carolinas this time of year. Don't ask how I know. :-) |

No cruising planned for a while but hopefully we'll get over to the Exumas late winter/early spring. How was the Dismal Swamp? I've always wanted to try that. What kind of minimum depths were you seeing? Good depths i.e. about 6 min in some places but way more in the middle in most. Locks were good. Are you talking about Roger from Maine? Let me know if you or Roger are going to be near SWFL and we'll figure out how to meet up somewhere. I think Roger is only going as far as Georgia this year. He runs a section on sailboatowners dot com which I subscribe to. Peggy Hall has a column on there also. Check it for his Dismal Swamp updates over the past couple of days for a good idea of what it's like. He's going to put in a bit about the Feeder Lake that he visited. We'll be in SE Florida, not SW depending on how you define SW. We will be visiting a friend in Sarasota at some stage and also visiting a former Commander of mine who's now an Admiral in Central Command. (I like to pretend I helped in his elevation). Then Bahamas in January. Is he the same Roger running the Q& A site? Don't think so. There's a good anchorage at the south end of the Alligator River just before the canal, and another good anchorage at the western end. Check on activecaptain.com for details. Will do - I only just started using activecaptain Keep moving south ASAP. It starts getting cold in the Carolinas this time of year. Don't ask how I know. :-) No need to tell us. We're from sunny South West Australia and getting whacked by stuff that you guys think is "normal" is not pleasant for us. |
